The sugar-refinery in Garbów

Description

 

The sugar-refinery in Garbówwas built in 1904 by industrialist Bohdan Broniewski. It operated for almost one hundred years until 2003. The sugar factory improved the economic situation of the local manors and farmers’ households, and in the course of time it became one of the best sugar-refineries in the Kingdom of Poland. It offered employment for many people, housing for the employees, and it gave assistance and support to the local parish. One of the directors of the refinery, Jan Rupert Łopaciński, supported the establishment of the Primary School in Przybysławice (1926) and the construction of the School of Landowning Girls in Nałęczów. The sugar-refinery operated from its establishment until the end of the Second World War as a joint-stock company. It was nationalized in 1947. During the reprivatization period, it was retrieved in 1996 by the granddaughter of the founder, Maria Gordon-Smith with shareholders. After two years, the refinery was sold to the British Concern Tate & Lyle, and then to the Sűdzucker German Group. The last owners merged the sugar-refineries: “Garbów,” “Przeworsk” and “Łubna” into one company – Małopolska Sugar Joint-Stock Company with the main office in Kazimierza Wielka. In 2003 it was decided to shut down the refinery in Garbów.
